The Samsung BlackJack came out in 2006. No: the BlackJack was a 3G phone on AT&T, and that network shut down in 2022.
The quick answer
- Calls: no
- Software: Windows Mobile
- Still works offline for some features
- Worth keeping as a collectible
Why it can't connect
Both the BlackJack and BlackJack II used AT&T's 2G and 3G networks. Neither supports 4G.
What still works
It powers on and runs its built-in Windows Mobile apps. Most syncing and email features depended on servers that are gone.
What it's worth
A niche collectible. Working units sell for modest amounts.
If you're replacing it
A new moto g 2026 or Galaxy A17 costs little, gets years of updates, and several carriers give them away when you switch. Pair it with a low-cost plan such as Mint Mobile ($15 a month for 6GB on a 12-month term) or Visible ($25 for unlimited, taxes included).
Current offers from Metro, T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T and Xfinity.
